Hah, tipping. I only tip when deserved. Which means once every blue moon.

As said by someone that has clearly never worked in a restaurant In the US.

Also said by someone not in the US, where the tipping custom is very different from Europe.

Edit: (Just now noticed the "...in the US" part)

I only typed one sentence.... Hahah. How can you have possibly skipped over it!

In Oklahoma you don't have time to read whole sentences in between dodging tornadoes.

It is hard to concentrate with the sirens going off all the time and the constant in-out of the shelter business...

Understandable.

I used to work in a New Orleans hotel and can add to that by saying people from some European countries, most notably Finnland, were fairly bad about tipping, but wanted the most babying.
Rappers pretty well sucked also. Bobby Brown and his entourage and the Beastie Boys were two of the more arrogant, disruptive to other guests, and filthy crews we had to deal with that never tipped.

So what, like another two weeks before she gets a reality show right?

You learn not to watch that channel.

Turns out she has been fired.

Good update.

"In light of the investigation and recent events, both Ms. Morales and Gallop Asian Bistro have made a joint decision that Ms. Morales will no longer continue her employment at our restaurant," said the Facebook post, which did not specify the conditions under which she left. "We wish her well in the future.”

"You're fired but we're gonna make it sound good for the media"

Why would they do that?

Because if they make themselves sound anti-gay, that could potentially affect their business. And really, they can say something that is very true, yet certain people will still see it as a slight to [insert group here], and take offense and no longer eat there.

Saying they sacked the woman because she lied and defrauded people is "anti-gay"?

If "certain people" would "take offence", will they not do so when she leaves by "mutual consent"?

Less then 10% of people are gay. Would it seriously adversely affect the company's business to "make themselves sound" anti-gay?

Yes, if they appeared anti gay it would, especially in certain cities. They woud upset ALOT more people

Just because only 10% of the population is homosexual does not mean that a substantial portion of the other 90% doesn't support gay rights/causes/equality.

it's been problematic elsewhere; reason enough not to court further controversy needlessly.

With labor and privacy laws they might also just be trying to let people know that she was fired, but without saying anything that might get them sued by her in the future. Don't know about that specific state, but it might be a consideration.
